AB  - This  is  a  medical  condition  characterized  by  infants  that  have  a  cry  that  is  similar  to  a  meowing  kitten  as  a  result  of  laryngeal  dysfunction.  The  clinical  features  include  a  high-pitched,  cat-like  cry  in  the  newborn  period,  severe  mental  retardation,  facial  anomalies,  scoliosis,  muscular  hypotonia,  and  congenital  cardiac  (eg,  atrial  and/or  ventricular  septal  defects,  tetralogy  of  Fallot,  pulmonary  stenosis,  tricuspid  regurgitation,  patent  ductus  arteriosus,  pulmonary  hypertension)  and  renal  defects  (eg,  horseshoe  kidneys,  renal  ectopia,  hydronephrosis).  About  one-third  of  children  lose  the  cry  by  age  of  2  years.  Affected  individuals  may  also  present  with  cleft  lip  and  palate,  preauricular  tags,  thymic  dysplasia,  intestinal  malrotation,  and  hypospadias.
